Paul Smith unveils a new Edition Two version of Artek’s classic Stool 60, applying his signature sense of color to the modernist icon. Each of the three legs carries a distinct tone from his recognizable palette, including sky blue, rust, and British racing green. A hidden coat of red beneath the seat adds a subtle tailoring reference, echoing the designer’s background in fashion.

The top remains finished in natural wood, preserving the stool’s warmth and simplicity, while the legs provide playful contrast. The design continues Smith’s collaboration with Artek, showing how color can reinterpret timeless forms without compromising their identity. Functional and stackable, the stool serves as both a statement piece and a versatile furnishing. With this edition, Smith highlights how design classics can be refreshed through carefully considered details, ensuring relevance for new audiences while maintaining a strong connection to heritage.
